Stiches for Ava

Ava had our first set of stiches. I would have thought it would be one of the boys for sure. She got hit in the eye with a golf club, ouch! She was so brave and laid perfectly still and silent while the doctor sewed it up.

Cousin Luke was so nice to get her the ice cream build-a-bear she had wanted to say "i'm sorry"

4th of July

4th of July Fun

Grandma and Papa got a bounce house waterslide for the day and the kids had a blast all day playing on it and sliding and then more party and fireworks in the evning . By the time Monday evening rolled around everyone was exhausted from a fun weekend of partying every night!

Stadium Fireworks

We went down to fox field to watch the big staduim fireworks. It was a late night for the kids, but they had a great time, the fireworks were great and there was a fabulous sunset to watch!

4th of July Neighborhood Party

Ava, Katie and Marianne

Tadd, Caitlyn and brand new little Samson

Ava thinks fireworks are way too loud, as she says

Griffin was a little scared of the fireworks so he sat on the front porch with grandma

Lyla's Home

Lyla got to come home last week! Hooray! It's so nice to all be home together once again. She is doing great! We are so grateful for her doctors and nurses who took care of her and helped her on recovering and feel so blessed that she is doing so well. Thanks again to all the family and friends that helped us out with the kids, meals, prayers and so much more! We couldn't have made it work without all of you! Thanks a ton!

She could go outside on her wagon ride the last couple of days before she came home. It was so nice to get some fresh air!

In her carseat ready to go and get outta here!
